Planet Earth 2 in 4K UHD - Blu-ray Forum

Exciting to hear BBC's Planet Earth sequel is coming soon in 4K UHD. It should be spectacular and boost interest in 4K as the first documentary did for blu-ray.

"Shot in 4K UHD, the series used new technology like cutting-edge forms of camera stabilisation, drones, remote recording and new cameras to capture more and better footage."

This is one release that I would actually consider making the jump to 4K early for. I'm sure this will be amazing.

Oh yeah.

I agree, this would be way up there for me. The original planet earth, while featuring some great photography, actually looks kind of dated now as far as the blu-ray encoding. Wasn't much of it in 1080i too? I know some of those BBC documentaries were 1080i, and whether they are encoded in 1080p I think their source material was actually always 1080i (maybe I'm wrong on that).

Can't wait to see what this stuff looks like in native 4K all the way.
